Oats Pongal | Oats Breakfast Recipes

Oats Pongal is a very healthy and easy to cook south indian breakfast. Oats has been becoming very popular with all its health benefits and fast to cook texture. I make oats pongal just like we make ven pongal and it turned out very good…..when served hot along with sambar and chutney am sure no one will complain.

To temper:

Method:

Pressure cook moong dal along with 3/4 cup of water for 4-5 whistles or until mushy. Ghee fry the cashews until golden brown and keep it ready.Mash it well with a laddle, set aside. In a pan heat oil – add the items under ‘to temper’ let it splutter.

Then add water and let it boil, add oats and mashed dal together, mix well and let it cook for 2-3 mins.

Once oats is cooked and it reaches a semi thick consistency, add the cashews, give a quick stir and switch off.

Serve hot with a drizzle of ghee on top along with chutney and sambar.

My Notes:

Adjust water according to the consistency you like your pongal to be.

Drizzle ghee, garnish with cashews while serving to give the pongal a more appealing look 🙂

Thanks for posting this.Really this is awesome recipe. very tasty too. even we can add ghee in it for good taste.most of the south Indian people like to eat this in traditional days (or) on occasion. even Sweet Pongal (Huggi)is similar to this.really nice dish. 🙂
